Slim in 6 to p90x!!!!!! Long...

 So  due to a friends incredible success with p90x toning & losing weight I decided prior to surgery I was going to use this program to tone and strengthen once I had lost some weight.

I knew I would never do it prior to surgery even just losing the 40 some odd pounds and not dealing with the diabetes seems to have made a difference in energy.

I also determined based on what he said that there was no way I could do p90x at this stage of the game so dug out the last exercise videos I bought "Slim in 6". (By the same company that does p90x)  I had brought them to work thinking I may do them on night shift and never had.  So I blew the dust off of them tonight and made the commitment to do the six weeks.  Figure I made it through opti and the fluid diet, this should be easy.

Made it about 1/2 way through before I needed to take a break.  Was struggling at the end but I finished it with only a few short 30 second breaks and only modifying the floor exercises.  

There is NO WAY prior to my surgery I would have made it that far.  I would have been huffing and puffing after 3 minutes and I can actually say I feel pretty good.   And I look great in my new PURPLE work out shorts, they match my purple trimmed asics. 

So 1 workout down, 35 to go over the next six weeks!!!!  Wish me luck...

getting started is the hard part, good for you.
keep us posted on your success.

Good for you for starting! 
My 17 -year old step-son did PX90. (I'm not familiar with slim in 6) The difference in his body every two weeks was incredible!

Good luck!

good for you!!!

Good program, I have one of the sets at home. If I can find a quiet spot on my own when no one is around I like to do it. I just don't like jiggling in front of anyone. Perhaps if I can get a chance to continue for a long period i wouldn't have the jiggly parts.
